36

34 weeks along

36 weeks along

Well we've made it to 36 weeks. I'm feeling huge and I look like I was due yesterday. I am 1cm dilated and slightly effaced but we all know that really means nothing. We are trying to stay cool in the heat of the summer but some days it's tough. Cool showers, ice packs, otter pops, and fans set on high are my friends. Grant and I are stayinig busy with story time, play dates, kids summer movies at the theater, and swimming. He wants to be an independent little boy but he can't quite figure out his emotions yet so we're struggling with tantrums. Some days are good and others involve pulling out all the tissues from the tissue box and throwing them on the floor or spraying the Ipad with water from the squirt bottle. Yes, life is interesting. Some days I really wonder how I'll be able to do this 2 kid thing. Scares me quite a bit actually. Wish us luck!

Marvelous May

Grant and I visited the Gilbert Temple grounds to see the newly placed angel Moroni. It was neat to be there and imagine what it will all look like when it is completed. When it was time to go Grant kept saying, "more temple please, more temple please."

A few days later we attended the Schnep Farms peach festival. The highlight was finding this old, rusty, tow-truck that Grant was thrilled to call "Mater". We had to get a picture with Mater. This little boy is so in love with "Cars" it is crazy.

 We picked peaches right off the trees and had to try them out there in the orchard. Grant loved them so much.

Here we are at 32 weeks along. We are 90% sure on a name but we'll wait until he's born to make sure it fits him and to announce it to the world. I'm quite large and people think i'm ready to deliver. At the temple this week a woman said, "wow, looks like you're about to burst." Nice huh? =)

Daddy and Grant all ready for church

Sean took this whole week off work and we've had lots of fun family time together. We went and stayed at the Arizona Grant Resort one night and enjoyed their water park. This was our staycation since we can't really travel far. Grant loved the hotel suite and playing on the big bed.

We enjoyed going out to dinner at a mexican restaurant....

and just relaxing together.
